LIVE Special!: Dodgers Go Back-to-Back, 2025 World Series Game 7 Immediate Reaction | 114 57:24

منذ 1 day57:24

57:24

Steve and Devin went live for Episode 114 as the 2025 World Series reached its epic conclusion — an all-time classic that saw the Los Angeles Dodgers repeat as champions after an 11-inning thriller in Toronto. The Dodgers outlasted the Blue Jays 5–4 in Game 7 at Rogers Centre, capturing their second straight World Series title and becoming baseball’s first repeat champions since the 2000 Yankees. Will Smith provided the decisive swing, crushing a solo home run in the top of the 11th off Shane Bieber to put L.A. ahead for good. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, pitching on zero days’ rest, recorded the final five outs to secure the championship — his third win of the series and fifth of the postseason. Toronto struck first behind Bo Bichette’s three-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning, but the Dodgers clawed back. Max Muncy’s solo blast in the eighth made it 4–3, and Miguel Rojas tied the game in the ninth with one of the most dramatic home runs in World Series history — a 357-foot shot off Jeff Hoffman that silenced the sold-out Rogers Centre. From there, both teams traded blows. Toronto’s defense shined, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. turning a critical 3–6–3 double play and Andy Pages making a collision catch to save the game in the ninth. But the Dodgers’ relentlessness proved too much. Smith, who caught every inning of the series — 1,054 pitches in total — came through in the 11th, cementing his place among postseason legends. Yamamoto’s performance closed the door on a postseason for the ages: 5–0 with a 1.63 ERA. The Dodgers, deep, disciplined, and battle-tested, once again found the right answers when it mattered most. Steve and Devin also broke down the incredible October run of Ernie Clement — whose 30 hits set a new single-postseason record — and the historic implications of Yamamoto joining Randy Johnson (2001) as the only pitchers in the last 57 years to win three games in one World Series.

LIVE Special!: 2025 World Series So Far — Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Tied 1–1 | 113 1:41:33

منذ 8 أيام1:41:33

1:41:33

Steve and Devin went live for Episode 113 as the World Series reached Los Angeles with the series tied 1–1. Through two games, it’s been everything you’d expect from two balanced, well-prepared teams. Toronto took Game 1 by sticking to their plan — long at-bats, traffic on the bases, and patience that wore Blake Snell down early. Addison Barger’s pinch-hit grand slam, the first in World Series history, broke the game open and set the tone for how the Blue Jays want to play. The Dodgers answered in Game 2 behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who threw a complete game while allowing just one run and no walks. His command and tempo completely reset the series before it shifts to Dodger Stadium. Now it’s 1–1, and both teams have shown what they do best. Toronto creates pressure and forces mistakes, while Los Angeles controls pace and leans on execution. The rest of the series will come down to which approach holds up longer. Steve and Devin also discussed Tony Vitello leaving Tennessee to manage the Giants, Bryce Harper’s frustration with trade speculation, and Rob Manfred’s comments on MLB’s ongoing gambling investigations.

The stage is finally set. The Los Angeles Dodgers are back in the World Series, looking to defend their crown and become baseball’s first repeat champion in 25 years. Standing in their way are the Toronto Blue Jays, back in the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993 when Joe Carter sent an entire country into celebration. This matchup has everything. The Dodgers have been steady, efficient, and in control from start to finish. The Blue Jays have been resilient and relentless, finding ways to win close games and rising to every challenge in October. It’s experience against emotion. Power against contact. The sport’s most complete team against one that has played its best baseball when it matters most. Game 1 is Friday night in Toronto. The Rogers Centre will be loud, the moment will feel heavy, and both teams have earned their place here. 🎙 Steve and Devin are live right now, previewing the 2025 World Series.

LIVE Special!: Dodgers Win the Pennant, Mariners–Blue Jays Head to Game 7, & Tony Vitello to Giants? | 111 2:03:59

منذ 15 يومًا2:03:59

2:03:59

What a weekend for baseball. We went live Sunday night for Episode 111 to unpack a remarkable few days, from Shohei Ohtani’s historic performance in Los Angeles to Toronto’s season-saving win and a major development in San Francisco. On Friday, Ohtani delivered one of the most complete postseason performances in recent memory. He hit three home runs, struck out ten, and threw six shutout innings as the Dodgers swept the Brewers to clinch another National League pennant. Los Angeles continues to set the standard for sustained excellence, blending star power and player development in a way that few teams can match. It also raised one of the biggest questions we tackled on the show: are the Dodgers good for baseball, or are they proof of how wide the gap has grown between organizations that invest in winning and those that do not? By Sunday, the spotlight shifted to Toronto, where the Blue Jays refused to let their season end. In front of a roaring Rogers Centre crowd, they defeated the Mariners 6–2 to force a Game 7. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continued his outstanding postseason with his sixth home run, tying José Bautista and Joe Carter for the most in franchise playoff history. Rookie Trey Yesavage rose to the occasion with seven strikeouts in just under six innings, while Toronto’s defense turned three double plays, including two with the bases loaded. The Blue Jays played crisp, confident baseball, taking advantage of Seattle’s mistakes and controlling the game from start to finish. Meanwhile, out west, reports surfaced that Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello is finalizing a deal to become the next manager of the San Francisco Giants. If confirmed, it would make him the first college coach to step directly into a major league managerial position. It is a forward-thinking move from Buster Posey’s front office, emphasizing leadership, communication, and culture over traditional experience. From Ohtani’s brilliance and the Dodgers’ continued dominance to Toronto’s resilience and San Francisco’s bold step into the future, this weekend captured everything that makes October baseball special. 🎙️ Steve and Devin went live Sunday night to break down every storyline and discuss what it all means as the World Series approaches. 📱 Follow @tablesetterspod on Instagram and X for highlights, analysis, and full postseason coverage.…

Tarik Skubal: Trade, Extend, or Gamble? w/ Jordan Hall (Eat ’em Up Podcast) | Dodgers-Brewers & Mariners-Blue Jays | 110 1:24:26

1:24:26

October baseball is delivering everything fans could ask for. Blake Snell’s masterpiece — eight innings, one hit, ten strikeouts — set the tone as the Dodgers took control of the NLCS. In the American League, Jorge Polanco and Julio Rodríguez continue to fuel Seattle’s push toward the franchise’s first World Series appearance. The energy and emotion of October are in full swing. From there, the focus shifts to Detroit, where the Tigers’ dream season ended in heartbreak. Fifteen innings in Seattle, eight total runs in five games, and another postseason exit that raised difficult questions about what comes next. In Episode 110 of Tablesetters , Steve and Devin welcome back Jordan Hall, host of Eat ’em Up: A Detroit Tigers Podcast , for an in-depth look at the offseason’s defining storyline: Tarik Skubal’s future. After a Cy Young caliber season with 195⅓ innings pitched, a 2.21 ERA, 241 strikeouts, and a .677 win rate in his starts, Detroit faces a pivotal decision. Should they extend their ace, explore a trade, or wait and risk free agency in 2026 with Scott Boras leading negotiations? The answer could shape the franchise for years to come. The conversation also examines A.J. Hinch’s leadership, Detroit’s late season collapse, and the continued growth of Riley Greene and Kevin McGonigle as key pieces in the club’s next chapter. 🎧 This episode blends strategy, storytelling, and perspective, capturing everything that makes October baseball unforgettable — from Snell’s dominance and Seattle’s rise to the hard choices facing Detroit’s front office. 📱 Follow @TablesettersPod on Instagram and X for exclusive postseason content and behind the scenes coverage.…

LIVE Special!: Blue Jays Bury Yankees in ALDS, Phillies Collapse in LA, Are the Dodgers a Dynasty?, & the Next Generation Shines in the Arizona Fall League | 109 2:06:40

منذ 24 يومًا2:06:40

2:06:40

Welcome to Episode 109 of Tablesetters — a live October edition packed with drama, heartbreak, and the pulse of postseason baseball. Devin and Steve were on-air during the crucial moments of Game 5 between the Tigers and Mariners, breaking down the action in real time while unpacking a wild week across the baseball world. The headlines are brutal but fascinating: The Blue Jays ended the Yankees’ season with a decisive 3–1 ALDS victory, exposing every flaw in New York’s October formula and reigniting the debate about whether stability has become stagnation in the Bronx. Aaron Judge did everything possible — a batting title, 53 home runs, MVP-level brilliance — but Toronto’s contact-first offense proved too balanced, too relentless, and maybe even too modern for the Yankees’ aging approach. Over in Los Angeles, the Phillies’ season ended in stunning fashion, on a throw that sailed high and sealed their fate. The Dodgers moved on — again — with calm precision, behind Tyler Glasnow’s dominance, Roki Sasaki’s breakout, and the quiet intensity of Shohei Ohtani’s first postseason run in Dodger Blue. The dynasty question looms: is this simply sustained excellence, or has L.A. become the model every franchise is now chasing? Meanwhile, in Arizona, the next generation is already announcing itself. Prospects like Sebastian Walcott, Rhett Lowder, and others are redefining the future in the Arizona Fall League, each representing a story of either precocious dominance or long-awaited redemption. The desert has rarely felt this alive — fastballs touching 102, teenagers owning at-bats, and front offices taking notes on baseball’s evolution in real time. From postseason heartbreak to developmental rebirth, Episode 109 covers it all — live reactions, tactical breakdowns, and raw emotion from a night that had everything October baseball can offer. 🎙️ Hosted by Devin and Steve 📸 Instagram + 🐦 X: @TablesettersPod 💬 Join the conversation and sound off in the comments — who impressed you most this postseason, and what’s next for the teams that fell short?…

Welcome to Episode 108 of Tablesetters, a live special edition devoted to the theater of October baseball. The Wild Card round delivered everything that makes this game irresistible — drama, heartbreak, and the sudden swing of fortune that only a short series can bring. The Yankees shut out the Red Sox to punch their ticket. The Dodgers swept past the Reds to set up a heavyweight showdown. The Cubs outlasted the Padres in a tense decider at Wrigley, while the Tigers endured a familiar divisional foe in Cleveland to keep their dream alive. With the chaos of the Wild Card behind us, the stage is now set for the Division Series — where the stakes climb higher and every mistake, every moment of brilliance, lingers longer. The Yankees and Blue Jays meet in their first-ever postseason clash, an AL East rivalry sharpened by Toronto’s defensive mastery and New York’s reliance on overwhelming power. In Seattle, the Mariners’ long-awaited division crown is tested by a Tigers club leaning on Tarik Skubal’s ace-level dominance. The Phillies and Dodgers bring star power on a scale rarely seen in a Division Series — Harper, Ohtani, Schwarber, Freeman, Yamamoto, and more — a matchup destined to echo beyond October. And then there’s Brewers–Cubs, a postseason rivalry finally realized, where speed, bullpen arms, and one timely swing could tilt the balance of history. This weekend promises tension, legacy, and the defining moments of the postseason’s middle act. We’ll walk through the fallout of the Wild Card round, preview every Division Series matchup, spotlight the players poised to shape the story, and consider what each battle means on the long road to the pennant.

Wild Card Series Preview: Yankees–Red Sox, Padres–Cubs, Guardians–Tigers, & Reds–Dodgers | 107 1:39:09

منذ 5 weeks1:39:09

1:39:09

Welcome to Episode 107 of Tablesetters! The MLB postseason has finally arrived, and we are diving deep into all four Wild Card matchups, exploring the stakes, storylines, and keys that could determine who advances. We begin in the Bronx with Yankees against Red Sox, a rivalry that has defined October baseball for decades. These two have met six times in the postseason since 1999, and Boston has claimed victory in the last three. This time New York counters with Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, and the most powerful lineup in the game. The question is whether Boston’s bullpen and the brilliance of Garrett Crochet can once again swing the balance in their favor. Next comes Padres against Cubs, their first postseason encounter since 1984. San Diego brings elite strikeout arms and perhaps the strongest bullpen in baseball, while Chicago leans on depth, defense, and the unshakable energy of Wrigley Field. This series could turn entirely on who controls the late innings. In the Central, it is Guardians against Tigers, a matchup that feels transformed from their earlier meetings. Cleveland enters October riding one of the hottest Septembers in recent memory, while Detroit boasts the ace of the year in Tarik Skubal. It is a contest between momentum and sustained excellence. Out West we find the underdog story: Reds against Dodgers. The defending champions return armed with Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman, but Cincinnati has a blueprint of its own with Hunter Greene’s overpowering fastball and Terry Francona’s postseason expertise. The real question is whether the Reds can strike early and rewrite the script. Throughout the episode we cover what truly decides these short series: rotation matchups, bullpen sequencing, defensive sharpness, and the single swing that can turn a season. October baseball is defined by chaos, and the Wild Card round is the first spark. Follow us on Instagram and X @tablesetterspod, subscribe to the show, and share with your baseball circle.

Challenges for Balls & Strikes in ‘26, Rays Sale Approved, Mets & Tigers Collapse, Judge vs Raleigh, Trout’s 400th, Kershaw’s Farewell, & NFL-to-MLB Crossovers | 106 2:00:09

منذ 6 weeks2:00:09

2:00:09

Welcome to Episode 106 of Tablesetters . Steve and Devin break down a week where baseball’s future, present, and past all collided. MLB has approved a challenge system for balls and strikes beginning in 2026, officially bringing robo-umps into the big leagues in a way that could change strategy and pacing forever. At the ownership level, the Rays sale was approved, ending the Sternberg era but leaving all the familiar ballpark questions behind. On the field, collapses define September. The Mets’ fade feels like history repeating itself, while the Tigers are flirting with a collapse of historic proportions. Meanwhile, the AL MVP race has turned into a showdown: Judge’s all-around dominance vs. Raleigh’s power surge and pursuit of 60 homers. It was also a week of milestones and goodbyes as Mike Trout hit his 400th career homer, Clayton Kershaw announced his retirement after 18 seasons, and the first wave of teams punched postseason tickets. And for fun, we ask: if NFL stars had MLB equivalents, who matches the power, disruption, and impact we see every Sunday? Episode 106 is about the changing shape of the game, the weight of September, and the legends who still define baseball’s story.…

“What a Gift” Phils Clinch the NL East, Volpe vs. Caballero, Yesavage’s Dream Debut, Eldridge’s Call-Up, Skubal’s Scare, D-backs Align, Brewers Toast Uecker, Soto’s 40–30–100 | 104 1:28:10

منذ 7 weeks1:28:10

1:28:10

Welcome to Episode 104 of Tablesetters. Devin and Steve are back to capture the drama, joy, and heartbreak of a September week that revealed everything we love and fear about baseball. In Los Angeles, the Phillies turned fatigue into fuel, clinching their second straight NL East crown in a game that began after a sleepless night of travel and ended in extra innings with Bryce Harper’s fist-pumping eighth-inning home run and J.T. Realmuto’s sacrifice fly. When the champagne popped, it wasn’t just about celebration — it was about perspective. Garrett Stubbs made sure Harper could join the party with apple juice, and Harrison Bader’s mantra rang through the room: “What a gift.” For a club that has known nothing but heartbreak since 2022, that phrase has become the soul of the team: gratitude, joy, and belief that this year can be different. Contrast that spirit with the Bronx, where Anthony Volpe has been grinding through a partially torn labrum since May, hitting just .197 with his defense slipping. Brian Cashman insists this is merely a “tough stretch,” but José Caballero’s hot bat and steady glove have complicated the conversation. Caballero is hitting .314 since mid-August, and his emergence is forcing Aaron Boone to consider whether loyalty to Volpe is holding the team back. North of the border, the Blue Jays found a new reason to believe. Trey Yesavage, their top prospect, debuted with nine strikeouts in five innings, a franchise record, his splitter producing an absurd 11 whiffs on 14 swings. His 19 total whiffs put him in Kevin Gausman territory, and for a team already leading the AL East, his arrival feels less like the future and more like a weapon for right now. Toronto hasn’t won a World Series since 1993, but Yesavage’s debut makes that drought feel vulnerable. The Giants are also leaning into youth, promoting Bryce Eldridge, a 20-year-old, 6-foot-7 slugger ranked the No. 15 prospect in baseball. With 25 homers across Double-A and Triple-A and elite exit velocity numbers, Eldridge is being thrown straight into the fire of a Wild Card chase, where San Francisco sits just 1 ½ games back. With their first basemen producing a meager .614 OPS, Eldridge isn’t just a curiosity — he’s an immediate solution. In Detroit, fear gave way to relief when Tarik Skubal, the frontrunner for the AL Cy Young, exited his last start with side tightness. Initial panic subsided after imaging revealed no structural damage, and he’s slated to pitch Thursday against Cleveland. His numbers speak to his dominance: 13–5, 2.26 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 224 strikeouts in 185 innings. In a franchise that hasn’t seen an ace like this since Hal Newhouser, Skubal is the difference between a quick October exit and a run that could echo through history. Out in Arizona, the Diamondbacks are embracing the stars — literally. Blaze Alexander’s joke about undergoing a “horoscope” on his bruised elbow became a clubhouse rallying cry, and suddenly the D-backs are aligning at the right moment. Zac Gallen notched his 1,000th career strikeout, joining Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb, while a six-run sixth inning powered them to an 8–1 win over San Francisco. With Jordan Lawlar’s RBI double, Geraldo Perdomo’s five times on base, and James McCann’s homer, Arizona is playing like a team that refuses to fade. In Milwaukee, the Brewers clinched their own ticket to October in a celebration filled with laughter and tenderness. After the fireworks and walk-off, manager Pat Murphy read aloud a letter he pretended came from the late Bob Uecker. Players laughed at the imagined line about being God’s “third catcher,” but the tribute brought misty eyes too. Christian Yelich captured the moment perfectly: enjoy it, but don’t forget — the job isn’t done. And then there’s Juan Soto, whose brilliance continues to collide with the Mets’ collapse. His 40th home run put him in Barry Bonds and Jeff Bagwell’s company with a 40–30–100 season, the first of its kind in Mets history. He is the ninth player to hit 40 for different teams in consecutive years, joining legends like Griffey, A-Rod, and Ohtani. Yet while Soto shines, the Mets stumble, 21–30 in the second half, their Wild Card lead slipping away. His season is a masterpiece, but without October, it may be remembered as a monument to wasted potential. From Philadelphia’s “what a gift” mantra to Soto’s historic swing in Queens, from rookies Yesavage and Eldridge redefining futures to Skubal and Gallen reminding us of aces past and present, Episode 104 is the story of September baseball. It’s belief, heartbreak, and joy — colliding night after night as October looms.

The 1-2-3 "MLB Jam" Pitching Punch, Anthony Rizzo Retires, Remembering Davey Johnson, Schwarber’s 50 Home Runs vs Soto’s 30–30 Season, & Tigers Misconduct Fallout | 103 1:47:26

منذ 8 weeks1:47:26

1:47:26

Welcome to Episode 103 of Tablesetters . Devin and Steve return with another in-depth journey through the world of baseball, tackling both the headlines that shake the game and the performances that define it. We begin in Detroit, where the Tigers and Ilitch Sports and Entertainment find themselves in the middle of a storm. A series of troubling misconduct allegations have emerged, involving multiple executives and former player Cameron Maybin. It is a story that extends far beyond the diamond and raises difficult questions about accountability, workplace culture, and the responsibility that professional sports organizations bear toward their employees and their communities. From there, we turn to a pair of emotional and historic chapters. Anthony Rizzo, the face of the Cubs’ modern era, has officially retired from Major League Baseball and steps into a new role as a team ambassador. His legacy in Chicago is written not only in numbers but in leadership, resilience, and the unforgettable moment when he caught the final out of the 2016 World Series. We also reflect on the life of Davey Johnson, who has passed away at the age of eighty-two. Johnson was a visionary manager whose analytical approach was ahead of its time and who came closer than most to building a true dynasty with the unforgettable Mets of the nineteen eighties. On the field, the race for National League Most Valuable Player has taken center stage. Kyle Schwarber has joined the select company of sluggers with fifty home runs, while Juan Soto has etched his name into history with a rare thirty home run, thirty stolen base season. This debate captures the essence of value in today’s game: is it the thunder of historic power and iconic moments, or is it the balance of all-around excellence? We will also revisit our rankings of the one-two-three MLB Jam pitching trios. From the dominance of the Dodgers with Yamamoto, Snell, and Glasnow, to Tarik Skubal’s Cy Young campaign that elevates the Tigers’ staff into elite territory, to the balance and depth of the Phillies and Mariners, these rotations represent the backbone of October dreams and postseason survival. The discussion continues with the Mets’ recent struggles as their wild card lead shrinks and the Giants close the gap, the unsettling controversy surrounding Framber Valdez and his so-called cross-up moment, and the injuries that could shift the balance of pennant races, including the devastating absence of Bo Bichette for the Blue Jays and the double blow of Trea Turner and Alec Bohm for the Phillies. As always, we round out the episode with our signature segments. We ask “What’s the Word?” to define the week’s most memorable moments and we look ahead to the Arizona Fall League, where thirteen Top 100 prospects will take the stage, providing one more chance to watch the future of the game under the desert sun.

Guest: Declan Goff (SKOR North) | Twins Stay in Pohlad Hands, Target Field Lease Questions, Deadline Fire Sale, and What It Means for the Future | 101 59:27

منذ 11 weeks59:27

59:27

Welcome to Episode 101 of Tablesetters! Today, we’re joined by Declan Goff, the executive producer for Purple Daily and #MNTwins at SKOR North. If you follow Minnesota sport,s you already know his voice and his work. Declan has been covering the Vikings and Twins for years, helping drive some of the most engaging sports talk in the Twin Cities. In this episode, we break down one of the most surprising stories of the summer. On August 13, the Pohlad family announced they would not be selling the Twins after all. Many outside Minnesota assumed a sale was inevitable, but instead, the Pohlads are staying in control while bringing in two minority investors. Declan shares his perspective on whether this move signals real change in payroll, player development, and the team’s philosophy, or if it looks more like a financial maneuver that lets ownership keep things steady. That story also ties directly into the team’s long-term security in Minnesota. Target Field’s lease currently runs through 2039, with an option to extend to 2059 if lawmakers approve a continuation of the stadium sales tax. When the legislature declined to extend the tax this summer, it left the issue unresolved. With attendance slipping, the question of stability is pressing. We ask Declan whether relocation could ever become a legitimate concern for the Twins, or if that fear is being overstated. From there, we dig into the reset at the trade deadline, where Minnesota moved ten Major League players, including Carlos Correa and Jhoan Duran. Derek Falvey called it a reload rather than a teardown, but was this one of the most dramatic resets in recent franchise history? Declan offers his insight into how fans should view this moment. We also talk about clubhouse culture, leadership, and the future core. From Pablo López’s call for consistency, to the arrivals of Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait, to the emergence of Luke Keaschall, we examine who can carry the next era of Twins baseball and whether this roster can build an identity that lasts. Financial realities loom large as well. Payroll projections suggest Minnesota could be working near the 100 million dollar mark by 2026, potentially the lowest in baseball. With division rivals trending upward, is contending in the Central still realistic, or does it point to more years of retooling? Other key questions include: which of the deadline acquisitions could impact the roster as soon as 2026, how secure Rocco Baldelli is in his role, whether fans should embrace the draft lottery, and what Byron Buxton’s public support for ownership reveals about the disconnect between the clubhouse and the fan base. We close by asking Declan how his own history as a Twins fan shapes the way he sees this reset. After years of division titles, heartbreak, and now another rebuild, does hope remain for another renaissance, or has the weight of ownership decisions changed what it feels like to root for this team? Declan brings a unique blend of passion and sharp perspective that makes Minnesota sports relatable and real.

Welcome to Episode 100 of Tablesetters! Devin and Steve are back for a milestone edition of the show, covering all things baseball as the 2025 season hits its stretch run. We open with Commissioner Rob Manfred’s bold comments during the Little League Classic broadcast, where he floated the possibility of realignment if Major League Baseball expands to 32 teams. Nashville, Salt Lake City, and Portland headline the list of suitors, but the bigger question is structural : could MLB really abandon the American and National Leagues in favor of East and West conferences? We dig into what that vision would mean for rivalries, travel, TV money, and October itself. From there, we turn to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers swept the Padres in a pivotal series that flipped the NL West standings. Entering the weekend a game behind, the Dodgers turned it into a two-game lead by Sunday, while securing the season tiebreaker that could decide the division. Freeman, Betts, and rookie Andy Pages carried the bats, Glasnow and the bullpen delivered on the mound, and L.A. reminded everyone why they’ve owned this rivalry for years. The Little League Classic brought baseball back to its roots in Williamsport, and the Mets gave it a storybook moment. Mark Vientos slid down the Lamade Field hill with kids before blasting a three-run homer under the lights, his 12th of the year, sparking a win over the Mariners. With Francisco Lindor and Francisco Álvarez leading the offense, New York finally strung together back-to-back wins for the first time in weeks. In Philadelphia, the headlines are colliding: Zack Wheeler’s blood clot diagnosis deals a massive blow to the Phillies’ rotation, Aaron Nola’s shaky return raises questions about whether he can step into the ace role, and Alec Bohm’s bat gave the lineup a needed spark. What does it mean for their World Series hopes? It was also a week defined by young talent. Nolan McLean debuted for the Mets with eight strikeouts and a highlight-reel defensive play, Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers joined the Orioles’ endless pipeline, and top prospect Konnor Griffin jumped to Double-A. We break down what these moves mean for contenders and rebuilders alike. The Brewers’ 14-game winning streak came to an end, but their run underscored everything that makes them dangerous heading into October: depth, resilience, and a chemistry that’s built for a pennant chase. Meanwhile, questions swirl in Arizona as Ketel Marte’s future comes under scrutiny despite another All-Star caliber season, while Geraldo Perdomo steps in as both teammate and defender. And in Houston, the Astros await the return of Yordan Álvarez, whose rehab assignment comes just as the division lead shrinks to a single game. And of course, we’ll check in on the league’s hottest and coldest bats as the playoff picture sharpens. 👉 Episode 100 delivers the context, analysis, and perspective that will shape the postseason race.
